Also With the "Hurdles" Near Ramore, Thinks Men do not Have to Work Hard at the Mines (?) Three weeks ago Mr. Thomas, editor of that wellâ€"known Muskoka newsâ€" paper, The Bracebridge Gazette, paid his first visit to Timmins coming here over the Ferguson highway. In a re-' cent issue of his own paper he gives his impressions of Timmins and the | North, and these are interesting and valuable. One or two comments may be made, on some of the conclu.sions| reached by the Bracebridge editor. For l instance, he appears to think that! wages are high and work easy at the mines. Compared to some jobs in some lumber concerns, for instance, this may be more or less true, but. speaking generally it gives a slightly wroeng impression. There are lots of machines at the Hollinger all right but men there usually have to earn their pay all right. There are few that esâ€" cape actual hard manual labour in the daily work, despite the labour saving machinery. Even the man who has nothing to do but tend the labourâ€"savâ€" 'ing machines usually has lots to do to keep him busy. There are also a large 'number of places and positions where labsurâ€"saving machinery can not be advantageously employed and where actual hard labour is accordingly the rule. It may be said that mine mathâ€" inery has not been responsible for any of the unemployment in this camp. There are more men employed at the cperating mines today than there were a year ago. The cause for any unempâ€" ployment here is due to men coming here from autside places. L _A ioi mm "Took most of last week off to see the north country by a motor trip to Timmins. There were five of us and :/ we had five good days. It was my first trip over the Ferguson highway beyond | North Bay. Roads are all right, at least during dry weather, The road is fairly | wide and gravelled most of the way.| There is some grading that would get‘ very bad with a few days rain but work is being pushed along. A remarkablei feature, is that even so far north as | Timmins there had been no frost. That town is about 400 miles north of Braceâ€" bridge and when we left there last Thursday there was no trace of flower’ cr vine frosted. The official observer' told me it has registered three degrees | of frost but left no mark and probably | lasted only a few minutes. As there are /‘ no maple leaves to mess things the lawns and gardens are as fresh and . beautiful as in July. On the way up we called on Mr. E. F. Stephenson and | "Allie" at New Liskeard. B. F. was ibusy as a bee in the printing office in' }the early morning but took me up to jthe house to see the family and his! roses. Mr. Stephenson always had / fbeautiful roses in Bracebridge and he has continued the hobby. When our j party left New Liskeard each was deâ€"| corated by a beautiful rose. Our friends 'in the west and the south may judge | by these incidents what a positively | l glorious autumn Northern Ontario has? | | had so far. In Bracebridge flowers are | still blooming but most of them are | buried under a thick carpet of maple| leaves. Farmers in New Ontario workâ€" / ing in harvest fields in the second week of October, tell the story of operations! long delayed by wet weather. There| are thousands of acres of grain in stooks and many fields of barley andl cats not cut in the famous clay belt. Continuous rain almost ruined the seaâ€" son for farmers up there. Big barns and good houses advertise that condi-l tions are usually good. The clay belt, with slight interruptions, reaches from New Liskeard away up to the end of the road. It looks like perfect farm |lramd though here and there too hilly. Climate is what keeps the farmers guessing. ‘ It would not be right for anyone to go away with the idea that miners get good pay for little work. The truth is that they work hard enough for their mconey, and this may be said without finding any fault with anybody. Conâ€" ditions are much improved in regard to mine work. The conditions in gold mines are much better than in the coal mines. Better standards are obtaning now than heretofore in mine work and everyone should seek to keep it so. For this reason The Advance calls attention to the fact that Mr. Thomas may have a wrong impression in regard to his brief visit to the camp. Had be seen some of the men at work on contract in some of the mines he might have taken a directly contrary impression to the one he did receive. With this introduction, the article from The Bracebridge Gazette is given herewith:â€" "The drive from North Bay up is very delightful, especiall through the Park, where for forty miles or so the highway is cut through virgin pine forest. The pine is straight and tall, but rather small, chibfly less than fifteen inches in diameter. Away up north beyond Ramore is a stretch of road that would make the Northern Development rich it is were near Toronto. This stretch is known as "The Hurdles." I don‘t know how many hills; they pass too quickly to be counted. In Detroit there is a car roller coaster for which motorist pay for the thrill of rolling the bumps. One ride over The Hurâ€" dles of Northern Ontario is worth hundred at Detroit. The Hurdles might not be so funny if wet. One ‘misses the colour up north. There is no maple, therefore no colour.. When Muskoka is a riot of reds and yellows the contrast to pine, spruce and popâ€" lar is striking. And the towns? Towns seem extremely quiet. I do not mean commercially quiet but there is so little street traffic. Any little place on @ THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO highway in Old Ontario has at least the rush of cars passing through. In one fair sized town in New Ontario a man told me he had stood in front of the principal hotel on the main street 20 minutes between 9 and 10 in the evening and not one person had passed. Shops, hotels, restaurants, theatres, look good and therefore must do good busiâ€" ness. But the streets are certainly quiet. Our nothern neighbours have done themselves proud in school buildâ€" ings. In some countries churches overâ€" shadow but in Northern Ontario churches give place to schools. They tell me gold is now the only thing worth digging out of the rock. Silver and copper are so cheap they do not pay expenses. "Timmins is a large town which exâ€" , ists as the market and homes for otfiâ€" cers and employees of the Hollmgm gold mine and their families. We snmt. a long time at the works and saw theq rock come out of the earth and go | through various processes until the go‘ld ran away in solution looking like clear water. After that it is separated and made into bricks of pure gold but they: neither offered to show us that last rerformance nor gave us a brick as a souvenir. There are 2400 working at the Hollinger, 800 at a time, every man working 8 hours a day. As about 150 workmen‘s cars are parked there at a time the wages must be rather good. As gold never varies in value there is more certainty about it than about any other mineral, profit varying only as wages and other expenses rise and fall. Looking through the Hollinger plant, one cause of unemployment becomes evident. In one fiat probably 500 feet long, full of working machinery, I saw only two mert anc\ they were po $ workirt: merely seeing that the machinery worked. It would take hundreds of men without the aid of machinery. That was our experience in many buildâ€" 4ngs. A hoist raises 6 tons of ore at a time and lifts it 50 feet in a second. It takes two seconds to load the 6 tons and two seconds to unload. It that were carried up in hods or even pulled up by windlasses, believe me it would take some men. As it is, one man works the levers and has an easy job." Teachers‘ Bowling Scores For Week of October 29 The following are the Teachers‘ Bowling scores for Wednesday, Oct. 29th : â€" M. Arscott N.

Now his predictions have been more or less shatâ€" tered since last weekend saw the "first touches of winter" in the form of a mild blizzard which left a white blanket over the greater portion of Ontario and part of the Eastern United States, not to mention what Western Canada and the Western Sates have received.

H. Hanian, for eight years past the assistant supefiniendâ€" ent of the Dominion Expsrimental Farm at Kapuskasing, will take charge of the Ontario Demonstration Farm at Hearst, Ont., as superintendent and manager. The announcentment to this effect has been made by Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Ontaric Minister of Agriculture. The appointment will meet with general favour so far as the Hearst farm is ecncerned, but there will be very genâ€" eral regret in the Kapuskasing area at ‘he idea of the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Hanlon who have won the highest regard of all. Mr. HMHanlon in his own tine of business has given excellent serâ€" vices, while in other community effort > has been equally valuable. As presâ€" ‘dent of the Kapuskasing Agricultural Srciety since its inception and as an active member of the board of trade ind the school board, Mr. Hanlon‘s serâ€" been sprcially effective. A little sketch of Mr. Hanlan‘s career, reâ€" »sently published in the press, may be of interest now. M~. Hanlan was born on a farm in Grenville Country in 1889 and from his sarents received a good grounding inl the msethods of successfully conducting a farm. From childhood he evidenced in interest in agricultural matters and it every opportunity improved his mnowlege along this line. Entering the Agricultural Collegs aAt Husliph in September 1913, he recsived in associate diploma in the Spring of 1915. At the sams time he received apâ€" pointment as assistant district repreâ€" zentative in Frontenac country. A year later hs was appointed district repreâ€" centative for Kenora district. On Auâ€" gust 1, 1917, "he recaived appointment }as acsistant superintendent of tha proâ€" vincial demonstration farm and sold â€" liers’ and sailors‘ training school at Montscith. The following Autumn he rose to> the position of superiniendent there. He relinquished this position afâ€" ter a year‘s tenure in order to continue |his studies at the O.A.C., where he |c0mpleted his course with high standâ€" ing in 1922. During this time he servâ€" ed as assistant agricultural refrlvresentâ€" ‘active in Prince Edward couniry. In July of the same year Mr. Hanlan received appointment as assistant supâ€" erintendent of the Dominion Experiâ€" mental Farm at Kapuskasing, which position he has held now for just over eight years. .Arra.ng‘mg for a short leave of absence from his duties at Kaâ€" puskasing, he entered Macdonald Collâ€" ege to take major work in agronomy. He was fortunate in securing one of ten W. C. Macdonald scholarships Aâ€" warded in the whole of Canada in 19235, and this enabled him to complete his full course and obtain the coveted deâ€" gree of Master of Scientific Agriculture from McGill University in 1926. Still intent upon fitting himself esâ€" pecially for technical work in the North Mr. Halan enrolled in the first night classes that were organized in Kapuskasing three years ago., taking u1‘ the study of French; and he followâ€" ed this up by a short intensive Summer course at McGill University, in that language, for which he received a diâ€" ploma last year. He is thus in a posiâ€" tion to render material service to the many Frenchâ€"Canadian settlers in the vicinity of Hearst. S» far The Advance has noted there has been no announcement of the proâ€" bable surcessor to Mr. Hanlan as assistâ€" ant superintendent of the Dominion Experimental Farm at Kapuskasing. It would appear, however, that, dependent, of course, on the recommendations of the> superintendent, the position might well go to some member of the present staff. Mr. Belzile, for instance, has shown himself a man of very decided talent and his earnestness and enthuâ€" siasm are also valuable factors in the work being done for the benefit of the settlers and farmers of the area. Like the superintendent, Smith Ballantyne, Mtr. Belzile, has proven himself a real friend of the settlers and one whose talent and interest made his friendly efforts of particular value. The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€"‘"Capt. Tom Magladery, New Liskeard, has been apoointed by Hon CAPT. TOM MAGLADERY HAS IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT . A. Gordon, Minister of Immigration and Colonization, to make a survey of all the branch offices under the Soldâ€" iers‘ Settlement Branch and the Lands Settlement Branch for the Dominion of Canada, and will undertake the dutâ€" ies of his office at an early date. The following is a list of the western cities: Capt. Magladery will visit: Winnipeg, Sackatoon, Prince Albert, Calgary, Edâ€" monton. Vernon and Vancouver. Reâ€" turning to the east, the Capt. will visit Toronto, Sherbrooke and St. John, N.B. Canada invested many millions of dolâ€" lars in the Soldiers‘ Settlement scheme, and hence the necessity of cbtaining an upâ€"toâ€"date account of the standing beâ€" tween the Government and the purâ€" chasers of the land. We know of no one better fitted to satisfactorily disâ€" charge the important duties of this ofâ€" fice than Capt. Magladery, and his apâ€" pointment will be a popular one. He has had a successful business care>r, served two terms in the legislature, while his war expsrience, and his exâ€" rirrience in connection with veteran claims since the war, will combins to enable him to grasp the situation A4 between the Government and the re= turned soldier as but feéew mssn could ao." Forest Standardâ€" Unemrloyment is something only the city men talk about Farmers may grumble occasionally aâ€" bout the high taxes and poor markets, but the agricultural industry does not furnish breadlines or create seasonal distress.
